Non-invasive technique
This project will demonstrate the feasibility of a label-free, non-invasive technique of continuous-flow cell separation requiring minimal sample preparation. The non-invasive nature of the technology will present opportunities to address problems in separation of cells where subsequent viability is important. This could lead to inexpensive disposable products for diagnosis of diseases and monitoring of disease states and therapeutic responses.
